The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 620 - 128: Ambush the Strongest in This World
The inhabitants of the Divine Realm had descended upon Mount Heavenly Dragon for several days now, cooped up in this valley as per the arrangement of that royalty from Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, which was to lie in wait here like sitting ducks.
Black Cat originally thought that upon returning to the Primordial Realm, with the swagger of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, they would have launched a full-scale attack. The vanguard not only consisted of people from Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, but Canghai and Biluo, the other two great divine nations, were also present. Only Canglan Divine Country was absent, and perhaps, Canglan Divine Country had already dissipated.
This made many of the residents of the Divine Realm sigh with emotion, as Canglan Divine Country used to be a divine nation that competed with Tai Bai Divine Kingdom. Unexpectedly, it had fallen ahead of the other Divine Realms.
Among the Four Great Divine Nations, Tai Bai was already the strongest in the past and remained so now. Therefore, their royalty smoothly became the leader of this exploration mission.
The passageway was open now, and couldn’t be closed again, which was both good news and bad news.
The good news was that the people coming after wouldn’t need to exert much effort to break through the barrier, but the bad news was that without the protection of the barrier, the violent astral force might erode the entire Primordial Realm. Would a White Dragon appear now to block the void?
Black Cat felt vaguely uneasy, always feeling it was unsafe to be scheming alongside the inhabitants of the Divine Realm. It was just unfortunate that when Lin Yun had left, she had not expected that he could actually go without dreaming of her, his little cat—absolutely outrageous!
Even a promise to a cat doesn’t count; is this what a person does?
If it weren’t for Lin Yun breaking his promise, why would she have to stick around with these fierce-looking people from Tai Bai Divine Kingdom? Especially when she couldn’t defeat them herself.
With a wronged expression, the cat squatted on the tree, daring not to sleep again. The royalty then surveyed the surroundings again, and soon, someone from the vanguard of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom stood out, saying, "We’ve breached the barrier, this side’s Heavenly Dao will sense it and will surely guide the strongest being of this realm to come here. Judging by the time, they should be arriving soon—everyone must be alert!"
Black Cat yawned again, but felt an increased sense of wariness towards the royalty of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom.
This royalty was quite steady.
They had arrived at Mount Heavenly Dragon but did not launch a large-scale attack. Instead, they waited here.
This standstill brought two benefits: one, they could ambush the strong ones here. Once the top fighters were taken out, dealing with the rest would be easier.
Secondly, as time went on, they could wait for the second and third waves of inhabitants of the Divine Realm to strengthen their forces, and then dealing with the people of this world would be even more secure.
Black Cat couldn’t help but sigh that with strength and such steadiness, the people of the Primordial Realm were likely to suffer.
Not sure who the strongest being of this world was, Black Cat’s mind subconsciously conjured the images of Bai Jiaojiao and Lin Yun.
Lin Yun could not be considered the strongest, but Bai Jiaojiao might be.
After all, she was a True Dragon.
However, if she really was the strongest being in this world, she probably couldn’t withstand the invasion from the inhabitants of the Divine Realm, not even the match for that royalty.
The people from Tai Bai Divine Kingdom were arrogant, and while those from Canghai and Biluo had some dissatisfaction in their hearts, they did not act out. Now that they had an unstable footing, they still needed to rely on Tai Bai Divine Kingdom.
At that moment, the royalty’s eyes suddenly became sharp. Black Cat was taken aback, thinking her yawn had angered him, but then saw him waving his hand, and everyone from the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom began to be alert, as an inconspicuous white light flashed, concealing them all.
"Something’s up!"
Black Cat too was cautious, crouching on the tree, carefully watching the entrance to the valley.
The atmosphere became tense in an instant, and it wasn’t long before a dark shadow floated towards the entrance of the valley.
It seemed to move slowly, but in the blink of an eye, it had already reached the fissure.
This was definitely a top fighter! And surely the one they intended to ambush!
The royalty of the Tai Bai Divine Kingdom had already drawn their sword, carefully preparing a Divine Art.
A Spell activated with the power of a God is known as a Divine Art, while one activated with the power of a mortal can only be called a Spell. Divine Arts and Spells are not of the same level at all.
If this surprise attack hit, the strongest one of this world, if not dead, would at least be severely wounded.
"Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor Sword!"
The Divine Art was ready, and the royalty shouted the name of the Divine Art, officially unleashing it.
Black Cat was amazed, the royalty was actually a woman!
Such a fierce woman, she must be what mortals call a tigress!
Truly terrifying!
The Cat’s focus was somewhat misaligned. What others cared about was the Divine Art itself.
The Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor Sword, the legendary Divine Art of Tai Bai Heavenly Emperor, that is, the Emperor of Tai Bai Divine Kingdom, possessed immense power. This royalty being able to use it showed how much she was favored by the Heavenly Emperor.
Mortals engaging in combat do not need to shout the name of the move to activate it, but Divine Arts require the channeling of Divine Power; the full name of the Divine Art must be shouted. With that shout, the dark shadow sensed something.
But it was already too late, a Sword Qi, swift as light, arrived at the same moment the sound did.
This was not ordinary Sword Qi but Sword Qi infused with Divine Power, invincible, capable of piercing through anything, and in an instant, it pierced through the chest of the dark shadow, and then, a dazzling light engulfed the entire figure.
The inhabitants of the Divine Realm lurking in the valley showed looks of exhilaration—was this really the strongest being of this world? Just this?
After we get out, won’t it be a massacre?
Only the royalty’s gaze remained sharp as she sensed there was still a spark of life there.
Worthy of being the strongest being of this world, to still be alive after such a blow.
But this only fueled her fighting spirit. It had been who knows how many years since she had been separated from the Ancestral Realm; she had no idea what level the inhabitants of the Ancestral Realm had reached now!
It was indeed an unfair advantage to ambush, but for the sake of completing the mission smoothly, it was the best choice.
However, she could now give this person a dignified way to die.
The strong deserved respect.
Her Highness once again spoke, directing her words toward the place where the light was gradually fading, slowly saying, "Being able to withstand my strike and not die, you too are a strong one. I allow you to duel with me; dying at my hand won’t bring you shame."
The Black Cat, perched in the tree with hands clasped, couldn’t help but sneer to herself.
So, you do speak after all; I thought you were mute!
But that thing you said...
Do you really think you’re cool?
When the light dispersed, what appeared there was not a tall, gravely wounded hero, but a little loli who was 1.4 meters tall and completely unharmed.
"I missed? How can that be?"
At that point, the princess of Tai Bai Divine Kingdom had begun to question life itself.
Wu Xin was also questioning her life, she was so close to dying on the spot!
Speaking of which, she came here for a reason: Lin Yun had asked her to observe the battle trends of Ziyang City, especially to keep an eye on the Snow Maiden and prioritize her protection in case of any anomalies.
Just by secretly observing, she would reap benefits; why refuse such an easy job?
Moreover, if she made any meritorious achievements, there would be extra rewards, ensuring profit regardless of the situation.
So, Wu Xin had been lurking near Ziyang City all along.
With her cultivation level, unless she deliberately revealed herself, basically no one could find her.
Because she wasn’t far away when Lin Yun was severely injured by the spatial disturbance, Wu Xin was also at the scene.
Seeing Lin Yun in trouble, Wu Xin had mixed feelings: on one hand, she reveled in his misfortune, but on the other, she feared that if he really died, his death would spell her own—this was no joke.
But Lin Yun had stubbornly pulled through, which left Wu Xin seeing a very hopeless point: if such a powerful spatial shock couldn’t kill him, could she truly achieve mutual destruction with Lin Yun when she intended to?
Moreover, the dragon by Lin Yun’s side seemed to have already reached the peak of True Dragon realm, right?
Who could stand against that?
Wu Xin felt that in just a few days of absence, her ranking had dropped from the strongest in the world, and the people who surpassed her were all by Lin Yun’s side...
It’s a hard life for a demon!
But it was in this spatial disturbance that Wu Xin found her only way out.
If she could break through the Four Spirits Barrier and return to Demon Land, there was a chance to become a Heavenly Demon. Becoming a Heavenly Demon might allow her to break free from the Blood Curse Lin Yun had placed on her.
For this, she even abandoned her duty to provide blood drops every three days, deciding to search for the cause behind the spatial disturbance.
After all, Wu Xin was a Great Demon who had lived a very long time; she knew that behind every spatial disturbance, there had to be widespread and prolonged spatial fractures, and if she could find the cause behind it, perhaps she would discover a way to break the Four Spirits Barrier.
While searching for clues, Wu Xin suddenly thought that Lin Yun didn’t know whether she was secretly observing or not. Later, she could just say she was around—so long as the Snow Maiden was fine, it was like paid slacking; she’d be sponging off Lin Yun’s blood without any effort.
The more Wu Xin thought about it, the happier she got, and her mood lifted even more when she found a spatial rift.
Mount Heavenly Dragon was her second stop. In the areas most likely to experience spatial fractures, Wu Xin chose several key locations: the Land of Death, Flame Mountain, Mount Heavenly Dragon, Great Snow Mountain, and the Endless Sea.
Apart from Mount Heavenly Dragon, the other four were precisely the border areas of the Four Spirits Barrier. The borders were where space was the most fragile and most prone to fracturing.
Before coming to Mount Heavenly Dragon, Wu Xin made a trip to the Land of Death. She searched all the way to the boundaries of the Land of Death, which were a lot weaker than before, but alas, despite being much weakened, they were still not something she could break through.
Not only that, but she didn’t feel any clues of spatial fracture there.
So, she decided to explore Mount Heavenly Dragon, which was closer.
And with this exploration, she confirmed that this was the source of the spatial disturbances.
That streak of purple was undoubtedly a remnant of spatial fracturing; it couldn’t even be called a remnant, for the fracture here had not healed.
Wu Xin always felt there was something strange about this place, so she got closer to investigate.
Her heart surged with excitement: finding out the reason why this spatial rift remained unhealed for so long would mean that if she could break through even one border of the Four Spirits Barrier using the same method, she would have her chance!
However, tragedy strikes when one is too happy. Just as she was gleefully exploring, a beam of Sword Qi blasted towards her...
Who have I offended now?
Thankfully she was short, but she always used Demonic Qi to disguise herself as a leggy young woman, so when the sword blast came, she only lost a bit of her Demonic Qi.
And at this moment, a haughty voice sought a duel with her.
Damn it...
Wu Xin, furious and exasperated, was about to teach this person who recklessly dazzled others a lesson when suddenly she saw that the valley was full of people.
There were those in blue, green, and even more colorful ones.
Something was off; she had to retreat. Time to flee...
